Dungeon Master Mike Mearls leads Paul Wight (The Big Show), Joe Manganiello, Travis Willingham, and Ron Mathews on an epic level 18 adventure. -- Watch live at / dnd
Look at this. The Pinnacle of Manliness, just an absolute ocean of testosterone and beef. 100% muscle and sex. And he's DMing 4 big dudes or something.
Everyone Else: It's so cool to see Grog and Arkhan together again! Me: HOLY SHIT THE BIG SHOW IS PLAYING D&D! I CAN DIE HAPPY NOW! Seriously, this was great. I don't typically like combat heavy games, but with Jocks Machina I wouldn't expect anything less. PART 2!!!
There are a few times where the camera shows him talking, and vapor comes out of his mouth. If we didn't see him vape on camera, I would have thought it was an effect or done for show
Paul Wright has pretty much done live theater for over 30 years all over the world. He's talented and should definitely be on Critical Role on a guest spot. I would love to see Matt DM a two parter with a female member that could be Pike, Keyleth, or someone brand new.
@@SPACEHARICE Now think about other beefy guys out there, who are afraid to ask the cool nerds who are able to play D&D the whole time, if they might accept them :D
(Sorry for necro-ing) The one point I'm surprised and a little sad that he was rules-light was the Finger of Death on the dragon. I was so ready to laugh my arse off. Arkhan: "68" Mearls: "The dragon lets out a brief chuckle as the negative energy passes through it harmlessly" Arkhan: "Well fuck"
Travis: "The last time you saw me, I had helped Vox Machina..." Me: *Immediately pauses the video because I'm on episode 101 of the VM campaign and am NOT about to hear any spoilers from Grog himself.*
@@Nakall Most likely all you'd get for your money would be a polite conversation possibly with some slightly mocking joke at the expense of the "jock".
*Stares intensely* I WOULD LIKE TO RAG.......no no no. Lol. That part had me laughing hard. That and Grog literally getting talked down to by the actual Giant of the group was just great.
@@caffeinesystem You'll love the one shot in January. Vox Machina is playing the time gap between when Grog draws the void card and when they get his soul out of Pandemonium
@@caffeinesystem You'll love the one shot in January. Vox Machina is playing the time gap between when Grog draws the void card and when they get his soul out of Pandemonium
@@Underleaf76 Since you always round down, it's even 1 dmg less, because he accidentaly brushed his pink die with a 7 and made it an 8 instead, which he counted as 8, not 7. At least I assume it was an accident, but with Arkhan the cruel you'll never know.
53:00 I'm imagining the three of them (who take the damage) trying to dodge, with the Half Giant holding up his shield, Bieber running back and forth, and Grog doing a pirouette.
paul wight never breaks facade of being paul wight, he pokerfaces every big laugh he choses to because of all them years of wrestling hes learned to laugh inside, im sure hes giggling histerically
This was everything I’ve ever wanted. Also, Travis’ laugh fucking kills me always. I don’t care what anyone says, he’s the CR cast member I’d most like to have a beer with.
I gotta tell you, watching WWF and WWE as a kid, I never thought I'd ever see Big Show in a Dungeons & Dragons panel. It's like a pleasant fever dream. I honestly wish I had friends who played D&D.
Joshua Broughm besides, Arkhan mentioning that if the hand had ‘wish’ in it, Grog wouldn’t have done the same thing, kind of squashed the argument. Lol

"You see each of your companions armed and ready for battle..." *Grog gives Arkon the stink eye...* And then Big Show starts with the intimidation check. Grog: *squeaks for once*
Can we have a live action movie where Joe, vin diesel and travis play their characters and it’s just a fantasy action with comedic one liners and constant masculinity competition
Vin Diesel just claims he plays D&D but according to Joe, no one in Hollywood knows who plays with him so it might just be him trying to earn cool points.
@@jt808ful Oh I believe he has played. That much was obvious from the one shot. He was a fun player to watch and got fully in character and understood the rules like a pro. It's just that Joe has apparently invited him to play and been rejected, and Joe doesn't know anyone who currently plays with Vin.
When they were each naming what they saw in the light, and it was going through before Grog's turn all I could think of Grog saying was "I see Vax'ildan".
We've learned that high level one shots with legendary magic items was never meant for streaming. We also learned that that the players don't care and make it a party anyway. Seriously, I believe Paul is completely new to 5e and yet he did amazingly at portraying his character.I don't watch WWE but he was honestly so good!
This was such a good game to watch. More enjoyable than anything else on TV or streaming. I wish there were more big scale events like Stream of Many Eyes and The Descent.
when you realise why Paladins are among hte hardest DMG dealers and even leave frenzy babarians in the dust. just imagine them getting a crit on a lvl 4 smite, against a undead.
Beneteus der graue Wolf when i DMed a huge campaign for a while, one of my players was a vengeance Paladin. At level 11 he average over 100 points of damage a round when he went full nova with haste and vow of enmity. Any time he Crist he would hit that third level smite, it was fucking brutal
when you crit, you double dice damage 5d8 smite counts as dice damage paladin has 3 attacks, 2 regular + 1 hasted 100 points of damage becomes slightly more possible
I have missed Grog So much. Arkon... always great fun to have around Paul Wight/Big Show not THIS is the gem i was not expecting!! Fucking amazing And who does not love a popstrar send up character with a unicorn called Moonwalker?!? this is going to be amazing #JocksMachina !!!!
Back in the eighties and early nineties when RPG was rare in Denmark, I was an old-fashioned carpenter, Thai-boxer, SEP-member, playing MERP and Rolemaster. Pretty hard to find a group amongst my friends...
What a great combination of people put together to help break the stereotype surrounding D&d geeks. This shows that you can be a D&D geek no matter what your interests are outside the world of D&d.
This was a lot of fun to watch... I'd love to see them all play goblins next time..still melee characters, but goblins. on a side-note, you can totally tell that Ron Mathews actually knows what he's doing.. he sounds like a pro gamer
The Big Show 😍 he picked up on things really fast and well. Idk if he's played before but geesh he was amazing!! We really need a series of this please someone make this happen. You can have my money!!
41:05 makes me enjoy Travis even more as a player. He asked to cast finger of death on one of the OTHER dragons and wound up hitting the already damaged one. He just rolls with it
I love seeing everyone together at the end. Such excellent groups and players! I loved the stream of annihilation for its themes, but this stream made me wish even more that I had enough time to watch every group they showcased!
I'd watch a movie with these guys in this campaign~ I loved the D&D movies that came out when I was in the 6th grade crappy CG and all! These Folks made me laugh so hard and give it a solid monty python feel with Rowan Atkinson and Fry and Laurie too~
I was expecting a raven crow sound when ravens were mentioned, but then I realized that the DM isn't Matt Mercer :D (or Liam O'Brian) and that I've been spoiled.
When suddenly Travis doesnt look as big as he does on Critical Role
Freeze014 I was thinking the same thing.
He is so tiny...wee Travis!
Freeze014 no one looks big next to big show
chase green, meh I've seen bigger...
It's crazy. He looks so slim and tiny in that round.
DM: "You are in ShadowFell, dark desolate plain of The Raven Queen"
Grog: "VAX? THIS IS YOUR BEST PRANK YET!"
Kaneis Cares this needs more likes lol
I was like "Vax cameo?!"
Kaneis Cares your name reminds me of my own in a weird way...
Look at this. The Pinnacle of Manliness, just an absolute ocean of testosterone and beef. 100% muscle and sex.
And he's DMing 4 big dudes or something.
WE ARE NOT WORTHY, WE ARE NOT WORTHY, WE ARE NOT WORTHY
This comment....You are my God.
jajajaajajaajajaa!
Damn I died and went to heaven.... some sexy men!!
This is my favourite comment on the internet
Dragon: “Join us and forget Tiamat.”
Joe: *loads breath weapon with religious intent*
Hahah. I just picture grog looking at him and slowly backing away knowing what is about to happen.
Oh how I wish Sam Riegel were here, for whatever purpose.
Because he just adds that layer of ridiculous.That is perfect in any party
Playing Scanlan.
That would have been awesome, all tanks and the halfling... hahaha
Just imagine : the same team with Sam as DM
He's the true definition of chaotic lol.
Paul - "Only a moron gets off the path."
Grog (Challenge Accepted!) - "I start to..."
Everyone Else: It's so cool to see Grog and Arkhan together again!
Me: HOLY SHIT THE BIG SHOW IS PLAYING D&D! I CAN DIE HAPPY NOW!
Seriously, this was great. I don't typically like combat heavy games, but with Jocks Machina I wouldn't expect anything less. PART 2!!!
Josh Kaid yeah right ? I grew up watching the big show.
There are a few times where the camera shows him talking, and vapor comes out of his mouth. If we didn't see him vape on camera, I would have thought it was an effect or done for show
WELLLLLLLLLLLLLL ITS THE BIG SHOOOOW!
@@tomkvideo ya but dark sun is played abit diff i think cause he didnt know what dice did what
he's also a huge destiny fan. though I'm not sure how he feels about it now that Bungie has become the new EA.

All 4 of these dudes did amazingly, but Paul Wight killed it. He's a better actor than I ever thought.
the wrestling scene takes a lot of acting
really
Paul Wright has pretty much done live theater for over 30 years all over the world. He's talented and should definitely be on Critical Role on a guest spot. I would love to see Matt DM a two parter with a female member that could be Pike, Keyleth, or someone brand new.
Vann Jarmon I would 100% love to have Paul Wight on CR!!!
Kayfabe babay
I LOVE that Joe is as much of a Critter as the audience. All the inside jokes landed perfectly.
He played since a young age but had nobody to play with
@@SPACEHARICE Now think about other beefy guys out there, who are afraid to ask the cool nerds who are able to play D&D the whole time, if they might accept them :D
I'm a half-giant, I'm 14 feet tall, and I'm playing a Rogue/Thief.
He says it with such a straight face 🤣
The Big Show is amazing.
It's called mugging
Bieber MJ Timberlake and his Unicorn mount Moonwalker, lmao
This entire session was great. Especially great to see Arkhan and Grog once again!
Damn it arkan...didnt see the double cross coming
"Love me me some fried unicorn" dnd quote by The Big Show.
The Brobarians ride again!
Selene Dion?
Travis killing it the very first moment he opens his mouth... Such a fun guy.
We're playing LVL 18s!
Everyone: Oh dope big powerful moves!
Me: This gon be a lotta math
Mike is a great dm. He doesn't go strict on the rules and makes everything super fun and interesting with deals and such.
(Sorry for necro-ing) The one point I'm surprised and a little sad that he was rules-light was the Finger of Death on the dragon. I was so ready to laugh my arse off.
Arkhan: "68"
Mearls: "The dragon lets out a brief chuckle as the negative energy passes through it harmlessly"
Arkhan: "Well fuck"
Dafydd Williams it was a time thing
These aren’t supposed to be very long
He also formulates himself like Mercer much of the time.
BUT WHATS WITH HIS HAIR?! JUST SHAVE ITTTTTT
None of these streams are rule heavy.
Travis: "The last time you saw me, I had helped Vox Machina..."
Me: *Immediately pauses the video because I'm on episode 101 of the VM campaign and am NOT about to hear any spoilers from Grog himself.*
I was at about 110 when I found this. I did the same thing, had it in my list until I finished the campaign.
JUST did this exact same thing myself, and I'm on ep 98. Saving this for later.
I was sadly back in the 70s when I stumbled on this video lol the climb was worth it wait. Besides, what a great climb it was.
idrc1415 right? Crazy to think that in a year I’ve finished VM and am caught up on M9 just waiting for more lol 😂
Please if anyone sees this comment, do exactly what these people suggested. Pause immediately and finish campaign one. You'll thank them all.
Big Show listening to the DM thinking "this guy is more creative than writers in the WWE"
Great name chris
@@hypergreedgaming9590 that’s his wwe name when he enters the ring still a cool name.
29:00 when Travis is the only one to react to "so, we're all at the bottom guarding the hole?" is a wonderful moment
Must be Laura's influence XD
Very Laura Bailey of him

4 massive buff dudes playing D&D and crushing stereotypes!!! Gotta love it!
While at the same time playing on the stereotypes by playing big buff dudes :D
I pity the "jock" that walks up to them and say they are nerds playing D&D..
Wait no, I don't pity them. In fact I would pay money to see that.
@@Nakall Most likely all you'd get for your money would be a polite conversation possibly with some slightly mocking joke at the expense of the "jock".
@@Evija3000 I don't know, if Paul was having a bad day someone might get tossed..
I am very aroused
"We make it through this adventure, we all go do his dream ok?"
I never thought I'd see Travis look so small but then you put him at the same table as the amazing Big Show and just... damn boy
I love seeing old school players helping new players, this is how we grow the hobby. No judgements, just encouragement
Oh god I’ve missed Travis as Grog. And so far I’ve only watched the bit at the beginning but loving the connection between Arkharn and Grog again.
*Stares intensely* I WOULD LIKE TO RAG.......no no no. Lol. That part had me laughing hard. That and Grog literally getting talked down to by the actual Giant of the group was just great.
Right? I love Fjord and all, but I didn't realize how much I missed Grog until this.

More proof that D&D unites people, no matter what 'background' you come from, or what you look like
Truth!!! 🙂
As soon as Travis did the Grog voice i was so happy i almost started crying... I miss Vox Machina!
7d8..... PLUS 30. Joe M. - "It's the hand of Vecna y'all."
*grog looks at Arkahn* I can do that too *finger of death*
7d8 +30 halved actually. And Shadow Dragons are resistant to Necrotic. Mike let him get away with that one. Should have only been 17 damage not 68.
Underleaf76 how do you know what he wrote down on his sheet for damage?
@@Underleaf76 Since you always round down, it's even 1 dmg less, because he accidentaly brushed his pink die with a 7 and made it an 8 instead, which he counted as 8, not 7.
At least I assume it was an accident, but with Arkhan the cruel you'll never know.
Am I the only one that wants more footage of Big Show playing dnd? He is such a funny and charismatic person and I've been a fan of his for years.
I want this as well his not really wrestling anymore so its something he could do to keep in the public eye
53:52 was fantastic, that whole exchange. "I told you that in confidence."
Awesome session.

You won't see it coming, but I promise you'll know!
It's the Big Rogue!
YEAH ITS A BIG BAD ROGUE TONIGHT.
Ron White Yeaaaaah,its the big rooooogue, crank it up, turn off them lights!!!
That slow camera pan was amazing.

Grog being called shorty... This is gold.
This was everything I’ve ever wanted. Also, Travis’ laugh fucking kills me always. I don’t care what anyone says, he’s the CR cast member I’d most like to have a beer with.
Ron Mathews is the best thing about this. Just so chill, funny, knows the rules and is helping others.
I gotta tell you, watching WWF and WWE as a kid, I never thought I'd ever see Big Show in a Dungeons & Dragons panel. It's like a pleasant fever dream. I honestly wish I had friends who played D&D.
The slow pan over to Joe after Travis introduced himself was perfect.
Is that Matt Mercer laughing in the audience?? :D
OMG I HEAR HIM
I thought the same thing, and actually came here to see if anyone in the comments knew the answer!
Im also pretty sure i saw Deborah ann woll in the audience
I also spotted Maude Garrett in the audience
When?
17:00 Starts the guys talking about what they see. 18:17 Grog starts on the best thing to see to imbue hope.
Paul Wight should totally do a Kratos cosplay, right?
He basically is Kratos cosplay.
Or Doom Guy in the new Doom game!
This is why you dont throw undead at 2 paladins
It’s like how my friend threw undead at my scourge aasimar sun soul monk and our other friend’s Vengeance Paladin
Before seeing vid: Grog & Arkahn settling their beef finally.
NO LESS THAN 10 SECONDS IN: HOLY SHIT ITS THE BIG SHOW!!!
Joshua Broughm besides, Arkhan mentioning that if the hand had ‘wish’ in it, Grog wouldn’t have done the same thing, kind of squashed the argument. Lol

Can we have a live action movie where Joe, vin diesel and travis play their characters and it’s just a fantasy action with comedic one liners and constant masculinity competition
@bludrk returns If so someone please link the video!
@bludrk returns Matt actually created the Witch Hunter class, and Blood Hunter was what became of it after that initial one shot.
Vin Diesel just claims he plays D&D but according to Joe, no one in Hollywood knows who plays with him so it might just be him trying to earn cool points.
Peter Towns I believe in the xxx movie he had his dnd characters name tattooed on him and that was years before the one shot with the witch hunter
@@jt808ful Oh I believe he has played. That much was obvious from the one shot. He was a fun player to watch and got fully in character and understood the rules like a pro. It's just that Joe has apparently invited him to play and been rejected, and Joe doesn't know anyone who currently plays with Vin.
Paul Wight would be perfect for the role of Grog in the Netflix live-action adaptation that's probably inevitable now.
When they were each naming what they saw in the light, and it was going through before Grog's turn all I could think of Grog saying was "I see Vax'ildan".

I thought Ron brought so much flair to this session and he helped Paul really nicely with the dice, great player.
We've learned that high level one shots with legendary magic items was never meant for streaming.
We also learned that that the players don't care and make it a party anyway. Seriously, I believe Paul is completely new to 5e and yet he did amazingly at portraying his character.I don't watch WWE but he was honestly so good!
Paul’s been playing d&d for decades. Joe mentioned in a d&d beyond interview that he only got people who knew how to play the game.
Paul's in Joe's home game I believe?
It isn't... for standard stuff. At Legendary, you are in full on old style Tarrasque with all the bells and whistles territory.
The Vechna callout to Joe was great! And the camera pan. Just, perfect.
This was such a good game to watch. More enjoyable than anything else on TV or streaming. I wish there were more big scale events like Stream of Many Eyes and The Descent.
Plot twist: The Speaker from the Void is Cecil Baldwin.
Best lines of the night, ‘unicorns eating my ass now’, ‘where does the horn go?’ ‘In the abyss. And thats just the halfway mark!
Strange that people don't realise Paul Wight (The Big Show) is a big geek just like most of us :)

I hear ravens and the raven queen and I’m hoping for a Vax reference. Doubt it will happen, but hype either way.
I think we all know Vax was the one who chose Grog for this fight.
"I serve someone. Just like our friend, the elf."
@@Dinuial yes!
Travis is such a teddy bear :D
By far my most favorite game watched!!! Please have these same players & characters back every year. Jocks Machina 4Ever!!!
This was a lot of fun to watch... I'd love to see them all play goblins next time..still melee characters, but goblins.
on a side-note, you can totally tell that Ron Mathews actually knows what he's doing.. he sounds like a pro gamer
The Big Show 😍 he picked up on things really fast and well. Idk if he's played before but geesh he was amazing!! We really need a series of this please someone make this happen. You can have my money!!
I think they said he used to play dnd when he was a kid
He's in Joe's home game. Plays all the time.
Can we just take a moment to notice how cool it was that Travis and Big Show did a fist bump.
41:05 makes me enjoy Travis even more as a player. He asked to cast finger of death on one of the OTHER dragons and wound up hitting the already damaged one. He just rolls with it
Travis Willingham is not only a national but an international treasure! I love Grog so much!
1:01:20 Travis' face when he hears action surge and three more attacks! Lol!!!!!!
I swear, Travis and Joe are twins separated at birth.
Also Biebs is fucking Hilarious.
And Ulak is just pure awesome!
I was wondering when grog was going to yell, “ vex where are you?”
*Vax
@@SomeKindaSpy Nah nah nah, Grog saying the wrong name makes it funnier XD
I never knew I wanted this so much. I want this as a full-fledged campaign series. Just this group right here. They are perfect 🤣
I love how straight away the Big Show was 'in-character'.
How am I a year late to this? Well, better now than never
I love seeing everyone together at the end. Such excellent groups and players!
I loved the stream of annihilation for its themes, but this stream made me wish even more that I had enough time to watch every group they showcased!
39:01 I died laughing, Biebs is amazing!
Jocks Machina is amazing
Sure man
You coming with?
Roll constitution saves. :D
Big Show is an enormous man. Look how many dice fit in one of his hands!
I'd watch a movie with these guys in this campaign~ I loved the D&D movies that came out when I was in the 6th grade crappy CG and all! These Folks made me laugh so hard and give it a solid monty python feel with Rowan Atkinson and Fry and Laurie too~
19:10 "I'm crying cause my vision isn't his vision. I'm from the dark sun, I don't see any of this, he's got boobs and beer!" God bless Jocks Machina
19:00
I've missed Grog so much.
I was expecting a raven crow sound when ravens were mentioned, but then I realized that the DM isn't Matt Mercer :D (or Liam O'Brian) and that I've been spoiled.
Or Taliesin for that matter, his crow is amazing...lol
I think Ron's character and Sam (Scanlan, or Nott) would be AMAZING to see interact! The shit talking would be legendary.
Haha I love that Joe was thinking the knight sounded like Sturm Brigthblade
I love how everyone agrees that Grog's vision was the best.
Learning that my favorite wrestler of all time the BIG SHOW, loves dnd... I’m so happy!!!
This is so much better on YT, but had a blast with chat on Twitch
Paul Wight did a fantastic job for new player.
Poetwarrior I wish he did. That'd be AMAZING!
He played when he was a teenager so it’s mostly player’s rust
Such a fun one shot - but also i just noticed the SoME branded water...fancy!
Holy crap Paul White was on this?!?! My dreams are coming true.
My life has come full circle.
Man, what a fun session. Show was awesome at this, holy crap.
The big guys getting the big numbers. This was awesome!
Ok I desperatley need to see the stats for Paul White's character because god damn he seems powerful.
